I haven’t made any soap for a few months and have noticed that my supply of rain water has diminished considerably. I still have some but it’s pretty old, over 10 months. I just wondered if I can use regular water or should I go buy some distilled water. Maybe I can run the rain water that I have saved in 2 liter coke bottles through a filter of some kind. Maybe I could just filter it through a cheese cloth. It seems to be pretty clean but I can see little specks of black crude in the bottom. Maybe if I filter it and then put my lye in that water and let it set, it will kill any bacteria…what’s your thoughts?
